#it's a solid counterspell even with no artifacts/enchantments and in a dedicated deck it's basically a true counterspell

Oh I've never heard of that card, let me see-
You're more amazing than a 1/1000 chance
Blue commons, and another rare I had an idea for
Blue and black together cover all 4 modification themes in the set, so a card that rewards you for using all the different themes is obvious! Unfortunately, treating +1/+1 counters and keyword counters as different kinds of modifications would be confusing, difficult to word, and wouldn't even match the usual reminder text for modified, so you don't technically need to use all 4 themes. But still, this is some great untapped design space, perfect for rare!
#holy fucking shit they printed some bad commons back in the day#THREE MANA?!?!?#for THAT!?#for a second i was worried i'd made Creative Block too strong#no. no this is just absolutely terrible#i'm so glad the era of unplayable commons is over#seeing these two trash cards from mirrodin block makes me wonder if there's a whole cycle of these#3-drop instants that are absolute trash if you don't control like 5+ artifacts#though now that i'm thinking about it again Creative Block might be just a little too strong#it's a solid counterspell even with no artifacts/enchantments and in a dedicated deck it's basically a true counterspell#oh wait never mind i just rediscovered Spell Stutter lol#i remember now that's what i based it off of in the first place#but “artifact deck” is a lot more broad and common than “faerie deck” so idk...#and 2-mana “counter unless pay 2” spells like Make Disappear are just really good even without upside#Spell Stutter might be a bit too powerful too#i might change Creative Block to “counter unless pay 1 plus blah blah blah”
